I have bet on millions of rounds of chemin de fer. I started working my way into the gambling dens when I was 16. I have enjoyed online blackjack, I have counted cards, and worked with a team for a short time. With all that said I have still spent all kinds of cash at chemin de fer. The gambling halls have made it basically impossible to beat the casino.
I still enjoy the game and bet on a frequent basis. Over this time period I have played a type of vingt-et-un called "The Take it Leave it Method". You definitely will not get rich with this method or defeat the house, nonetheless you will have a lot of fun. This method is built on the idea that 21 seems to be a match of streaks. When you’re on fire your on fire, and when you’re not you’re NOT!
I play basic strategy chemin de fer. When I don’t win I bet the lowest amount allowed on the subsequent hand. If I do not win again I bet the table minimum on the successive hand again etc. Once I hit I take the payout paid to me and I bet the initial wager again. If I win this hand I then leave the winnings paid to me and now have double my original wager on the table. If I succeed again I take the payout paid to me, and if I win the next hand I leave it for a total of four times my original wager. I keep wagering this way "Take it Leave it etc". Once I do not win I return the wager back down to the original value.
I am very strict and never "chicken out". It gets extremely fun at times. If you succeed at a few hands in a row your bets go up very quickly. Before you know it you are betting $100-200/ hand. I have had awesome runs a few times now. I left a $5 table at the MGM a couple of years back with $750 after 35 minutes using this technique! And a couple of months ago in Vegas I left a table with $1200!
You have to comprehend that you can give up much faster this way too!. But it really makes the game more exciting. And you will be astonished at the runs you see playing this way. Here is a chart of what you would wager if you continue winning at a five dollar table.
Wager $5
Take five dollar paid to you, leave the original 5 dollar bet
Bet 5 dollar
Leave five dollar paid to you for a total bet of ten dollar
Bet $10
Take $10 paid-out to you, leave the original $10 wager
Wager ten dollar
Leave $10 paid to you for a total wager of twenty dollar
Bet 20 dollar
Take 20 dollar paid to you, leave the initial 20 dollar wager
Bet $20
Leave twenty dollar paid-out to you for a total wager of $40
Bet forty dollar
Take 40 dollar paid to you, leave the first 40 dollar bet
Bet forty dollar
Leave $40 paid-out to you for a total wager of $80
Bet 80 dollar
Take eighty dollar paid to you, leave the original 80 dollar bet
Bet 80 dollar
Leave 80 dollar paid to you for a total bet of $160
Wager 160 dollar
Take $160 paid-out to you, leave the original one hundred and 60 dollar wager
If you departed at this moment you would be up 315 dollar !!
It is herculean to go on a streak this long, but it occasionally happen. And when it does you mustn’t deviate and lower your wager or the end result will not be the same.
